8" Custom Sluice 36" x 16'

This is a custom sluice box for a very high powered 8" dredge. The sluice box is 36 inch wide and 16 feet long. It is roughly 10" wider than our standard 8" box. The sluice box is built for ocean dredging up in Nome Alaska.

    I would love to show videos or 8" plus dredges running if we could. Back when big dredges where popular no one had video cameras back in the 80" and early 90s. So we never took the time to video we where just dredging 8 hour a day plus. We all take for granted there everyone has a video camera in there pocket. 12" dredges are monsters and could not be used in the usa these days. to build a 12" dredge with a infinity jet or standard jet take big power. Something like 6K GPM at 45PSI . I miss dredging on the Klamath river and Merced and Yuba with a 8" dredge. The Good old days

    Even though people aren’t supposed to, definitely a few dredges operating up the north fork trinity and klamath this year. They only operate at night though, I see them packing up if I go early enough in the morning.

    I think this box will work great in nome,givin the expanded metal is the primary capture material. They run this same setup on the 40 mile river in chicken,in fact GFP's 8 inch is all expanded metal with woven wire covering all of the box. Great work guys.

    Expanded metal doesn't catch fine gold! They just use it to hold down the mats and moss! 🤣

    Do you guys have any footage showcasing your bigger dredge packages like the 8 inch line? Love watching dredge footage especially the bigger dredges. One of the best videos was one that had an older Keene 8 inch with a crashbox on the north fork of the yuba,must have been way back early 2000s or late 90s great gold and underwater footage.

    depends on whether all the divers get a full shift in or not as far as cleaning the box out,id say every 18 to 20 hours.

    Sorry for all the questions im a fanatic when it comes to equipment,but what about hydraulic riffles in the bottom of the sluice run to mitigate backlogging of material using a secondary pump syatem sort of like your sump system?
